Two ‘species groups’ can be distinguished based on the shape of the paraprocts of male final instar larvae. Geography helps specific identification (Theischinger 2002). Group A: North of Paluma-Eungella gap:
A. tillyardi
; Carnarvon N. P.:
T. undia
(but larva still undescribed); coastal south-eastern
Queensland
:
T. tryoni
. Group B: Coastal south-eastern
Queensland
:
T. cyclops
; south-eastern NSW south to approximately 35ºS:
T. godeffroyi
; NSW south of 35ºS and
Victoria
:
T. brevicauda
.
Telephlebia
larvae from north-eastern
New South Wales
may belong to either
T. cyclops
or
T.
godeffroyi
.
